Give Blood. Get Reward! Red Cross Low On ‘O’

It’s always a good time to give blood.Right now is better, especially if you are type O.

All types of blood are needed, but the Red Cross says they are critically low on O, the blood group most often used by emergency rooms in hospitals when there isn’t time to determine a person’s type.The current amount of O on hand is less than two days.With summer breaks beginning, high schools and colleges won’t be having blood drives and students account for around 20 percent of the supply from September to May.
